VE1, CANADA (A Contest Operation With A Different Twist!). Dan, K6IF,
has announced that he was invited by Jim Fisher, VE1JF, to operate from
his station for the upcoming CQWW WPX SSB Contest. The interesting twist
about Dan's operation is that he plans to write about it and put it on the
Web. He states, "This will be a major expedition for me, since I have never
operated in a serious contest from outside California. I've decided to
write up this effort in a similar way to my 2000 10 Meter effort - although
the content will be quite different. While the 10 Meter story was mostly
about planning and constructing the antennas and station; this story will
be much more focused on my planning and strategizing for the operation of
the contest. I will have the pleasure of operating a very well designed
station that needs only a small amount of work to be competitive." If you
would like to follow his saga, Dan has posted the first chapter (a short
introduction) at: http://www.k6if.com/
He hopes you will enjoy it, and your comments/suggestions are valued.

be found at: http://www.ky1v.com

w/100 watts, a 5 element M2 on 6 meters and 9 element M2 on 2 meters. He
hopes to be active on June 13th during the peak times for Europe and plans
to be active during the entire contest period. Tear down will be Monday
morning June 16th.
WRTC "FINLAND 2002" VIDEO. Review by Tedd, KB8NW: Let me first say I
am not a contester, and from the start I was wondering whether or not I
would really enjoy this video. However, as always, James Brooks's, 9Y1YC,
videos are truly interesting and have excellent videography. There is
only one way to describe this video on the "World Radiosport Team
Championship (WRTC) Finland 2002" and that is:
"The world's top contesters battle it out in an Olympic style
atmosphere using high tech for scoring and refereeing."
To shorten this, WOW! These guys are serious when it comes to contesting.
As the camera moves from shack to shack and from operator to operator,
you can see that this 24 hour event is stressful and very competitive.
I highly recommend that you add this video to your collection, and I truly
believe non-contesters (like myself) will enjoy this video. It is also
available on DVD with special extras (rules, operators, scores). More
details about the video can be found at:
http://home1.pacific.net.sg/~jamesb/
ZF, CAYMAN ISLAND. Peter, N3GXF, is expected to be active as ZF2HW now
through February 28th. Bands of activity are unknown at this time because
Peter has a Technician Plus license. QSL via home callsign.
